OverviewThis presentation will report on recent fishing trends in the Pacific Ocean and resource trends based on the latest resource assessments. While the central and western Pacific recorded record catches in 2024, unprecedentedly poor catches were observed in the waters around Japan in 2025. This presentation will examine the factors behind these phenomena and provide an overview of recent research findings regarding the ecology of skipjack tuna.
